Calling All Prayer Warriors..We Need You!

In October 2012 when we, 2 ordinary women, began hearing from the Lord to host a beach service called 'Extraordinary God' this summer at The Sanctuary Resort on Kiawah Island we never expected our lives to be interrupted so abruptly in May with the news of Kristi's husband, Jeff, being diagnosed with lung cancer and other happenings in our lives that could have easily caused us to say "Not this summer!" However, each time we prayed the Lord was clear that He wanted us to continue with our plans and that He would work through us to make sure every detail was covered. 

We also know He wants us to involve a strong team of prayer warriors so we would like to invite you to pray with us for the 6 weeks leading up to the event on July 14th at 6 PM. We will be writing a blog each week with a list of our specific praises to answered prayers and prayers requests related to the event & would love for you to pray along with us. Before we provide the prayer list for this week we would like for you to just take a moment to picture the setting of Extraordinary God.

Visualize crowds of people sitting on beach blankets or in beach chairs on the beautiful beaches at The Sanctuary Resort while enjoying a beautiful display of worship to our awesome Lord with live music and praise dancers as God's amazing sun sets in the background.

As the evening progresses the crowd will hear the incredible story of how God saved Matthew Pridgen from an attempted suicide at Folly Beach by bringing him on shore, after 18 hours, at the very place where the service is taking place.

Throughout the entire evening the presence of the Lord is mightily felt and lives of people attending the service are transformed. There may also be one soul or many souls that accept Christ as their Savior that evening and angels in heaven will be rejoicing along with us!

This week's answered prayer praises:

• The Kiawah Island Sanctuary Resort opening up their beach for Extraordinary God.
• Our amazing advertisement flier and graphics created by David Childs.
• Matthew Pridgen being able to share his testimony at our service.
• David Childs confirmed as our Praise & Worship Leader.
• Christal Brown-Gibson confirmed to perform during the service
• Moore Arts Movement, from Atlanta, GA, confirmed to provide the beautiful praise dancing to accompany the music.
• The divine connection with Henrietta Drayton and her excitement about the event.

This week's prayer requests:

• Pray that the Lord will prepare the hearts of all those people that will attend, whether they are vacationers on the island, people coming from other parts of Charleston or those traveling from out of town.
• Pray for the Lord to bless each person that is a part of our service and their families. Pray for the Lord to give them full protection.
• Pray for God's favor in providing the budget needed for Extraordinary God.
• Pray for God's favor for confirmed lodging for out of town people involved in the service. 

Thank you for being one of our prayer warriors for Extraordinary God. May the Lord richly bless you!
